Graco Ultra Max II 490 Electric Airless Sprayer — Stay Job-Ready
Professional crews like the Ultra Max II 490 because it threads the needle between handhelds and big rigs: light enough for one-man carry, yet powerful enough to move 0.54 GPM at 3 300 PSI through a 0.023-inch RAC X tip. The 1 HP MaxPower™ brushless motor sips current, so it starts reliably on a 15-amp circuit or a modest 4 kW generator. SmartControl 3.0 monitors pressure 200 times per second, trimming spikes to ±25 PSI while cheaper boards drift 200 PSI or more. When uptime is money, genuine Graco parts not look-alikes keep that spec sheet real on the wall, not just on paper.
Why Choose Genuine Graco Ultra Max II 490 Parts?
- Chromex® piston rod ground to ±0.001 inch—dead-band stays under 1 %, eliminating “tiger stripes” on level-5 drywall.
- Endurance™ V-Max Blue™ packings—lab-proven to last 2× longer than PTFE/Viton mixes when spraying abrasive block-fill.
- ProConnect™ pump mount—one bolt swaps the entire pump in 60 seconds with no special tools, slashing job-site downtime.
- OEM warranty intact. Stick with factory seals and you keep Graco’s coverage.

Cross-Fit Parts That Shrink Your Shelf
- magnum pro x7 parts—RAC IV tips, FlexLiner™ bags, and prime-valve O-rings double as emergency spares for the 490 gun.
- 395 Graco sprayer—shares SmartControl sensor and V-Max packings; one graco repair kit refreshes two different sprayers.
- graco 7900—BlueMax™ hoses, RAC X guards, and 60-mesh graco filters and strainers cross-fit, so your bulk order earns volume pricing.
- graco spray gun parts diagram—our annotated PDF links each part number directly to live inventory so you never mis-key a seat ball.

Accessories That Pay Back on Day One
- RAC X Low-Pressure tips (FFLP 208–517)—same fan width at 50 % lower pressure = 55 % less overspray & 2× tip life.
- Contractor PC Compact gun + 4½ ft whip—50 % lighter trigger pull cuts wrist fatigue overhead.
- TSL + Pump Armor bundle—nightly flush and oil costs pennies, but saves a $350 piston next quarter.
- BlueLink™ retrofit module—tracks gallons, pump hours, and asset location from your phone 24/7.
Five Pro Tips to Triple Pump Life
- Log your gallons. SmartControl tracks total; swap packings every 400 gal before rod scoring starts.
- Keep the wet-cup full. Two pumps of TSL nightly extend leather packings by months.
- Rotate tips. Flip after 100 gal—worn orifices spike pressure and cook seals.
- Color-code bins. Separate graco filters and strainers from high-pressure fittings so 6 a.m. mobilization isn’t a treasure hunt.
- Stage a spare pump. ProConnect cartridge swaps in 60 seconds—zero rental fees, zero lost billable hours.
